Amazon became the world's second trillion-dollar company on Sept. 4, 2018, when shares pushed through the $2,050.27 needed to make it happen.
But I think it'll be the world's first $2 trillion player.
Here's why and, of course, how to play along for maximum profit potential...

This month marks the 36th anniversary of one of the most important events in U.S. automotive history.
It was the launch of a car so far ahead of its time that it might as well have been science fiction. And, well, it actually was.
On Sept. 26, 1982, TV viewers got a glimpse of the future of the automobile industry. I'm talking about KITT, the artificial intelligence-powered auto costar of the series "Knight Rider."

When I started Total Wealth, I highlighted six "Unstoppable Trends" for you and told you that "every dollar you'll make in the next 10 years in on this list."
Not literally, of course, but figuratively.
The six Unstoppable Trends we follow – Demographics, Scarcity/Allocation, Medicine, Energy, Technology, and War, Terrorism & Ugliness – are all driven by trillions of dollars that will get spent practically no matter what happens in the years ahead.
Lining your money up with 'em is the single easiest and most powerful path to profits.
Trade wars... they become somebody else's concern!
Politics... not your worry!
Market corrections... so what!
I know that's hard to accept and even harder to rationalize, so let me put it this way using an old saying you may be familiar with... "A rising tide raises all boats."
Unstoppable Trends are a lot like the tide. Most investors concentrate on the boats – meaning individual companies – with no awareness of what the tide is doing. So, not surprisingly, they're caught when they go aground or collide with an unseen obstacle just beneath the waves.
But get the tide right before you pick your boat?
Now you're going to have a great (and very profitable) sail.
Take War, Terrorism & Ugliness, for example...

A few weeks ago, my daughter graduated with honors in finance from the University of Portland, which she attended as a Presidential Scholar.
I couldn't be prouder.
And I'm even more impressed by her next decision: She's pursuing, on a one-year schedule, a technology master's degree with an emphasis on supply-chain logistics.
That means when she leaves grad school next May she will be stepping into a red-hot field.
But I'm here to do more than boast about my daughter's future prospects – as fun for me as that may be.
Here's the thing: A recent report from a key industry trade group says U.S. firms alone spent a record $1.5 trillion on logistics last year. The momentum is this industry is driven by something you and I have been talking about for years – the rise in e-commerce.
While I was researching my daughter's career choice, I was surprised to learn which company is considered the leader in logistics tech.
No, it's not a freight company... or a package carrier... or a retailer or energy company with an incredibly complex supply chain.
It's Verizon Communications Inc.
In today's report, I'll show you why that's so.
I'll also show you why Verizon is not the best play in this sector.

Anxious investors frequently ask me, "how can you get beyond FANG stocks?" and my response is always the same...
...why on earth would you want to??!!
FANG stocks are the single most powerful and profitable investing opportunities ever created.
You know their names ..."F"acebook Inc., "A"mazon.com Inc., "N"etflix Inc., and "G"oogle (Alphabet Inc.).
Just $10,000 invested in each when they went public is now worth a staggering...
...$59,953 – Facebook
...$245,193 – Google (now Alphabet)
...$359,978 – Amazon
...$3,388,290 – Netflix
You're missing out if you're not on board.
So, do yourself a favor.
GET on board.
Contrary to what a lot of people believe about 'em being "expensive," the reality is that they're dirt cheap.
I know that's hard to comprehend.
A little perspective might help.
In 1980, Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s stock stood at $300 a share, and people thought that was impossibly high. By 1990, a single share would set you back $9,000. That was $50,000 a share by 2000. Today, Berkshire trades at a jaw-dropping $317,850.00 per share.
Forget about the individual companies for a moment.
What matters here is that every single one of the FANG stocks is changing the world we live in. That means they are being driven by trillions of dollars in spending that will happen no matter who is in the White House, which countries want to fight over trade, or even the Fed's next move.
They are the very embodiment of an Unstoppable Trend and, as such, forward-looking growth machines best viewed in light of what they will accomplish, not where they've been in the rear view mirror.
Latching on to them will help you grow your money faster, with more certainty, and with bigger profits than you've ever dreamed.
There's an art and even a science to this...

Go big or go home. That's my motto today.
See, we're coming up on the fifth anniversary of a bold call I made about Amazon.com Inc.
And it all had to do with my thesis that high tech is vital to our economy and your investment portfolio. That the road to wealth is paved by tech...
Of course, my belief in tech as a key force behind the ongoing success of – heck, the mere existence of – just about any company on the market remains as strong as ever.
As with the doubters you still see today, many in the financial media were skeptical that the "King of E-Commerce" really could hit $1,000 when I predicted as much on Oct. 30, 2013.
At the time, four years into a huge bull market, TV analysts were spouting off about how a "tech bubble" was about to burst.
But I strongly disagreed. I argued that tech had become the key driver for the U.S. economy in a way we hadn't seen before. That's why I said that Amazon would roughly triple from the $332 per share that it traded for the day that column ran.
Well, Amazon crossed the $1,000 threshold way back on May 31, 2017, and the stock hit an all-time high of $1,980.45 on Aug. 31, 2018.
But if you think gains like these are a thing of the past for Amazon, and that you're too late to profit from this tech juggernaut, I've got news for you.
Its share price isn't stopping here.
In fact, it's still on the rise.
And that means it's time for another bold call...

Our tech stock pick today has its hand in just about every up-and-coming technology, from immunotherapy to driverless cars.
Whether it's young start-ups or behemoths like Alphabet and Nike, this company has the solutions to help them deliver the goods.
You'll want to get in on it now while it's still flying under the market's radar.

If you've been around as long as I have, then you remember where you were on July 16, 1969.
That's when Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon.
The effort took seven years from the time President John F. Kennedy first set out the seemingly far-fetched goal.
I'm bringing that up now to note that as we approach the 50th anniversary of that amazing achievement, the United States is about to get involved in another stretch goal involving the heavens.
Just days ago, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence laid out plans for a U.S. Space Force that would be up and running by 2020.
"Space Force all the way!" U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted in support of the ambitious goal for what would be a sixth branch of the Pentagon.
This is a good move.
In fact, I've been advocating for this very approach for more than 30 years.
As has my father – who literally wrote the book on this topic.
In today's briefing, I'll tell you about all that.
Plus, I've found a market-crushing small-cap aerospace leader poised to profit handsomely from Trump's military buildup in outer space...
It's been absolutely crushing the market over the past few weeks.
But its biggest moves are still ahead...

Elon Musk is a talented developer and a trailblazer in his own right...
And while we could rattle on about his accomplishments for days – lately Musk has been dominating the headlines for a much different reason.
You see, Musk has many opinions, and he takes to Twitter to express them all...
And his latest one has really rocked the investing boat.
But regardless of which way his newest "big idea" goes – you can profit off this tech mogul's erratic behavior...

On Aug. 2, the bulls got their sweet revenge.
Shares of Tesla Inc. leapt 16% to their highest close in nearly five years following its latest earnings report.
Turns out, short sellers worried about production snafus for the new Model 3 and other concerns got hammered, despite paper losses of nearly $1.7 billion.
You'd think a longtime Tesla enthusiast like me would be happy.
Just the opposite is true.
In fact, I believe now is the time to sell Tesla and use the most recent rally to take whatever profits you can.
Let me be clear: I didn't come to this conclusion lightly. You see, I have the highest regard for CEO and founder Elon Musk. I believe he's one of the great technology geniuses of our time.
But the company is facing a host of challenges at a moment when the stock has been on a roller-coaster ride.
With that in mind, let's walk through the reasons why I now have Tesla listed as a "Sell."

If you live in a major American city, you've probably seen them zipping down your street.
Bicycle- and scooter-sharing programs have taken the country by storm, sending shock waves through business cornered by mass transit and companies like Uber.
And they're setting tech stocks up for tremendous profit.
You see, the electric scooter industry is predicted to be worth $22 billion by 2024.

Facebook Inc. is trying to cozy up with America's biggest banks.
Talk about a dirty hookup...
The social media behemoth has approached megabanks like Wells Fargo & Co., JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc., and others, hoping to sweet-talk them into sharing customers' card transaction history, their checking account balances, and other personal data.
Why? Because there's a ton of money to be made knowing how much people spend and what they buy. And there's even more money to be made developing platforms and applications that drive business to advertisers and make spending easy.
You don't need me to tell you why this is a bad idea – but I'll do that today anyway.
Plus, I'll tell you why it'll get done regardless.
However, as distasteful as it may be, there is a way to get yourself a piece of the pie.
A big piece.

Late last month, we saw how Russia released videos of six new "superweapons" almost immediately following the historic Trump-Putin summit in Helsinki.
We have no defense against these weapons – and our adversaries know this.
"No one has managed to restrain Russia," Russian President Vladimir Putin boasted following the videos' release.
Now China is getting into this arms race - and it may have taken the lead...

No doubt, the big tech stocks and "FANGs" are important drivers in this stock market. Since the bull market began, this core group of stocks have been responsible for pulling the market higher.
Of course, they're not the only stocks causing the bull market. However, when we talk about the value, or market capitalization, of the stock market, these are some of the biggest and most valuable companies out there.
